    This is from the same person that made sponsorblock https://sponsor.ajay.app/ This means that it's the community that sees sensational thumbnails and changes them to some other thumbnail. By default dearrow shows random thumbnails if no other were provided by the community. But you can disable this and show original thumbnails, but if there is a community submitted thumbnail it will show the community submitted one. I think for example the arte thumbnails won't get changed to other thumbnails as they are not sensational/clickbaity/mouth open.

    Mojeek, the alternative search engine that puts the people who use it first.
    Search engines. Search engines have a massive hand when it comes to centralising. Both Google and Bing prioritise centralised services no matter how irrelevant their pages are. Just try an independent engine like https://mojeek.com and see for yourself how vastly different the surfing experience is. It's like you're back to the time when the internet was accessible and not centralised to a few Big Tech apps and websites.

    If people don’t want to pay for YouTube, then why not use peertube[0]? I don’t understand the arguments here. If you don’t want ads, then pay for Premium. It’s fantastic that an option exists to solve the problem! If you don’t like the price, then don’t pay for it. Somehow people have got it in their minds that YouTube owes them content for free. That’s a great mindset to make the shift to peertube and away from YouTube, but I don’t think it holds up as justification for getting mad at YouTube for forcing their preexisting paid plan to remove ads. Either pay for YouTube Premium or shift to a different model of video sharing. Both options currently exist! [0] https://joinpeertube.org/.
